Lisa Alcala, MFT

A good therapist is a listener, observer, and adviser. A great therapist can be all three and knows when to be each. Lisa is a great therapist in my opinion.

Many people assume a therapist can listen to a problem, provide an answer (quick fix), and they're out in a couple of sessions. That's simply not realistic.

A great therapist needs time to understand the patient, get to know what's spoken (listener) versus unspoken (observer) before giving suggestions on a treatment (adviser).

Having seen her for four months, I can say she has gone above and beyond my expectations. She has ALWAYS been professional, thoughtful, appropriately concerned, and offers sage advise when it's needed.

While everyone can offer negative reviews, I suggest considering that none of those for Lisa, either here or on Yelp, offer any details on the time spent or issues covered.

My issues are ongoing, medical, personal, and life changing. These are major topics requiring exceptional care. I'm very grateful to have Lisa listening and taking care of me in this difficult time.

For whatever issue you have, I recommend you speak with her, give her the time needed for your issues, and you'll find yourself in excellent hands.

Very smart and friendly

Very kind and understanding. I was better within 3 Appointments. Would reccomend.
